EDIT
Ok, nevemind. I did not run dhcpcd wlan0, which fixed it. It still has the MAC of the LAN though...whatever.
Hello,
After messing with ndiswrapper for the last two days, I have finally made a breakthrough and am able to set the essid for my access point. (I set up a filter to only allow certain MAC addresses to be able to connect a long time ago, and the address of the laptop was not on it.)
On the linksys router setup page, it shows the MAC addresses for the LAN and the Wireless connections, which are different. When I run
my router is shown, but the address for the LAN is given, not the Wireless MAC, like this:
| Code: | Cell 01 - Address: 00:06:...
ESSID: "theWilsons"
...
|
The wireless MAC in the router setup is given as 00:02:...
I have tried manually setting the access point, a la
| Code: | | iwconfig wlan0 mode Managed ap 00:02... |
but it is not working. I think that if I get past this, I will have it working.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
